Eliot Cutler is no stranger to Mainers.
He ran for governor as an independent in 2010 and 2014, losing by a little in the first race and by a lot in the second one.
Now Cutler has been given a new opportunity to serve the state.
The University of Maine System has hired him to lead the merger of the graduate business programs at the University of Maine in Orono and the University of Southern Maine with the University of Maine Law School.
